If you come to Bruges, you will constantly find yourself in the Grote Markt, as all roads seem to lead here. It's not as grand and ornate as the Grand Place in Brussels, but is charming on a smaller scale. Two side of the square are dominated by Belfry Tower and the Provincial Hof (West Flanders government building), and the remaining sides are filled with traditionally built Guild Houses. The uppermost step of each Guildhouse roof once held the symbol of the Guild of the house, but unfortunately most of these have been lost over the years.
